Add transitions and animations

Animations are helpful way to make your slides look more dynamic. They’re also a great way to reveal text or objects on a slide one step at a time. For example, you could have five bullet points of text, and reveal them one-by-one on the slide with each click.

You can also make moving from one slide to the next a little more interesting with transitions. You can add or modify slide transitions and animations in the Animations pane. Here’s how to enable the Animations pane:

Go to the Slide menu and select Change transition.

Go to the View menu and select Animations.

Go to the Insert menu and select Animations.

The Animations pane is split into two levels. At the top, you’ll see transition options. Use the drop-down menu to select a slide transition for the selected slide. Choose the option below the drop-down menu to apply this transition to all slides in the presentation. At the bottom, you can apply animations to text and objects.
